Read What Students Are Sayingsacramento city college is a great place to meet new people. the professors are kind and gives attention to every student. the campus is beautiful and the classes are also very easy to find.
Karen from Elk Grove, CA
Hardly ever have homework, but lots of tests.
Kimberlee from Sacramento, CA
Sacramento City College or SCC has a great feel to it. They offer many tutoring services many of which are FREE. The professors here on campus are highly professional, however, most know how to have a good time and make class discussion relevant to you on a personal and professional level. A lot of the professors have backgrounds teaching at the local California State University of Sacramento and others also teach at University of California Davis. There are even some who have been professors at out of state colleges as well. All of this equates to adequate resources as to what to expect in a four year institution.
Andrew from Vallejo, CA
I have really learned a lot so far, and I'm glad I chose to spend my two years here instead of at UC, as was my initial plan. The general education stuff is all basically the same anyway, and there are some very helpful counselors here to ensure you're on your way (if you do, in fact, wish to transfer).
I take classes out at the Davis center (~20 minutes away from the main site), and, because of its location, many of my professors also teach at UCD. It is kind of funny (or sad?) that I have friends taking literally the same classes from the same professors... For a whole lot more per unit.

Samounn from Sacramento, CA
The teachers Ive had so far, have been very informative and really interesting. They've been enthusiastic about the subject their teaching, they really get you interested and involved and you learn a lot from teachers who love their subject
sina from Sacramento, CA
I was ashamed for a while, telling people that I attended a community college, but you know what? I'm getting a quality education for a fraction of the cost. Here, the professors want you to do well and want to actually TEACH. And they aren't busy with things like research and large class sizes.
Monica from Sacramento, CA
Sacramento City has an amazing group of professors who love their job and have fun with what they do. You can really tell that the school makes sure that the teachers here are qualified.
Adria from Browns Valley, CA
Many of the teachers here also teach university courses and use many of the same lessons for both classes. Some of the information I learn might not be useful for my chosen major, but it is interesting none the less.
